Editor’s Note
As we approach the new year, planning and anticipation are in the air. This article explores the emerging trends for 2026, as forecast in the latest Pinterest Predicts report, offering a glimpse into the themes and aspirations that may shape the coming year.
The last month of the year is underway, and in just a few days, we will welcome the new year. The special thing about December is that everyone starts planning for the coming year at this time. Most people begin thinking about ‘what events will happen in the new year’, ‘which goals to achieve’, and ‘what new trends will emerge’. Following this, the Pinterest Predicts Trend Report 2026 has also been released, which reveals what new things might be trending in the coming year. It is worth noting that Pinterest releases these data using machine learning and analytics tools.
One thing found to be most common in the trends is maximalism, meaning more color, more design, and more style. The era of neutral and all-beige looks is now fading into the past. Millennials and Gen Z are adopting more colorful and bold items in interior design, clothing, accessories, and beauty. So, before the start of the new year, shop according to this trend so that you look different and stylish at the New Year’s party.
Along with the return of maximalist style, gold and related jewellery trends are also growing rapidly. In addition, Millennials and Gen Z will not only focus on buying gold jewellery and accessories but will also invest in cleaning and caring for them.
Millennials and Gen Z are still attracted to fragrances, but the key point is that they prefer mixing different perfumes to create their own collection. Looking at the past year, searches like ‘niche perfume collection’, ‘signature scent’, ‘perfume layering combinations’, and ‘scent layering’ saw a significant increase. So, if you also want to stay with the trend in the coming year, create your own perfume or fragrance collection.
